Cincinnati Is Preparing For Riots Over Traffic Stop Shooting Death
High crime areas are mostly where this sort of thing happens.
On the whole, that seems to mean black areas.
I have no idea how far race is a factor in the general run of gratuitous police violence.
I am aware of several cases in which the person killed was white and the incident never made a headline, even in the city where it occurred.
But black areas are also where mob violence, rioting, burning, looting, and the like are apt to follow an event of this kind.
Best not to live in such an area, in so many ways.
All the same, and way too often, police violence is so absurd it seems wholly unaccountable, in any neighborhood or locale.
In the present case, for instance, you have to wonder what the heck could have possessed the cop to do this.
On camera, no less.
The cop's own body-cam.
